Let the Bells Ring Out
Swaffham Prior is included in The Ely Diocesan Association of Church Bell
Ringers. This is divided into four districts which are Cambridge, Ely,
Huntingdon and Wisbech. Together with our very own St Cyriac and St Julitta
Church the Association has links with 200 churches and helps with advice and
funding when approached. It has helped us in the past. To achieve this there is
an Ely Diocesan Association of Church Bell Ringers Bell Restoration Fund and
every year it makes an appeal. This is the first time this has been raised in
the village and it is not a regular appeal. So -if you enjoy the bells when
they ring in Swaffham Prior - why not make a donation, no matter how nominal.
What is nominal you ask? Anything above 50p and below £10. One of your
problems could be the challenge of writing the fund's name which is in bold
lettering above. Because not everyone reads the Crier from cover to cover
perhaps a mention to others would be useful.
If you are happy to make a contribution please let me have them and I will forward them to the General Secretary.
